FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, the invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a quinazoline structure or a quinoline structure which function as dual inhibitors of EGFR proteins and PI3K proteins, and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

Introduction

Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent malignancy in the United States with approximately 145,000 new diagnoses and 56,000 deaths estimated for 2005 (see, e.g., Cancer Facts and Figures 2005, Surveillance Research (Washington, D.C.: American Cancer Society, Inc.), 2005). Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for colorectal cancer but recurrence is frequent. Colorectal cancer has proven resistant to chemotherapy, although limited success has been achieved using a combination of 5-fluorouracil and levamisole. Surgery has had the largest impact on survival and, in some patients with limited disease, achieves a cure. However, surgery removes bulk tumor, leaving behind microscopic residual disease which ultimately results in recurrence.

Improved methods for preventing and/or treating colorectal cancer are needed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Experiments conducted during the course of developing embodiments for the present invention synthesized quinazoline derivatives and quinoline derivatives for the modulation (e.g., inhibition) of the activity or function of proteins of the phosphoinositide 3′ OH kinase family (PIK3) (e.g., PIK3Cα, PIK3δ, PIK3β, PIK3Cγ, PI3Kα) and modulation (e.g., inhibition) of the activity or function of proteins of the epidermal growth factor EGFR family (e.g., ERBB receptor tyrosine kinase family (e.g., ERBB1, ERBB2, ERBB4, ERBB1)). In particular, utilizing x-ray crystal structure and structure-activity relationships gleaned from known PI3K and EGFR inhibiting agents, such experiments resulted in the identification of “active cores” for PI3K inhibiting agents facilitating high inhibitory activity against PI3K, and the identification of “active cores” for EGFR inhibiting agents facilitating high inhibitory activity against EGFR, respectively (see, Example I). The quinazoline compounds and quinoline compounds of the present invention were accordingly synthesized to target the “active cores” for PI3K and the “active cores” for EGFR, thereby rendering such compounds as having “dual potency” against PI3K and EGFR.

PI3K is negatively regulated by phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) (see, e.g., Hamada K, et al., 2005 Genes Dev 19 (17): 2054-65). Numerous studies have shown a link between PIK3CA mutation/PTEN loss and EGFR targeted resistance leading to poor overall survival (see, e.g., Atreya C E, Sangale Z, Xu N, et al. Cancer Med. 2013; 2: 496-506; Sawai H, et al., BMC Gastroenterol. 2008; 8: 56; Bethune G, et al., J Thorac Dis. 2010; 2: 48-51; Spano J P, et al., Ann Oncol. 2005; 16: 189-194; Heimberger A B, et al., J Transl Med. 2005; 3: 38). The quinazoline compounds and quinoline compounds synthesized during the course of developing embodiments for the present invention were designed based on a central hypothesis that dual targeting of EGFR and PIK3CA would be efficacious in patients with colorectal cancer that are EGFR positive and are either PIK3CA mutated or null PTEN expressers (see, e.g., Psyrri A, et al., Am Soc Clin Oncol Educ Book. 2013: 246-255; Lui V W, et al., Cancer Discov. 2013; 3: 761-769; Jin G, et al., Lung Cancer. 2010; 69: 279-283; Buck E, et al., Mol Cancer Ther. 2006; 5: 2676-2684; Fan Q W, et al., Cancer Res. 2007; 67: 7960-7965; Gadgeel S M, et al., Clin Lung Cancer. 2013; 14: 322-332.

As such, the present invention relates to a new class of small-molecules having a quinazoline structure or quinoline structure which function as dual inhibitors of EGFR protein and PI3K protein, and their use as therapeutics for the treatment of conditions characterized by aberrant EGFR and PI3K expression (e.g., cancer and other diseases (e.g., autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, allergy, asthma, pancreatitis, multiorgan failure, kidney diseases, platelet aggregation, sperm motility, transplantation rejection, graft rejection, lung injuries, etc)). Indeed, through targeting both EGFR and PI3K, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating subjects with EGFR positive colorectal cancer that harbor an activating mutation in PI3Kα or are PTEN null.

Accordingly, the present invention contemplates that exposure of animals (e.g., humans) suffering from a condition characterized by aberrant EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα) (e.g., cancer (e.g., and/or cancer related disorders)) to therapeutically effective amounts of drug(s) having a quinazoline structure (e.g., small molecules having a quinazoline structure) or a quinoline structures (e.g., small molecules having a quinoline structure) that inhibit the activity of both EGFR and PI3K will inhibit the growth of cells characterized by aberrant EGFR and PI3K protein expression (e.g., colorectal cancer cells having aberrant EGFR and PI3K protein expression) and/or render such cells as a population more susceptible to the cell death-inducing activity of additional therapeutic drugs (e.g., cancer therapeutic drugs or radiation therapies). The present invention contemplates that inhibitors of both EGFR and PI3K satisfy an unmet need for the treatment of multiple conditions characterized with aberrant EGFR and PI3K activity (e.g., cancer), either when administered as monotherapy to induce cell growth inhibition, apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest in such cells (e.g., cancer cells), or when administered in a temporal relationship with additional agent(s), such as other cell death-inducing or cell cycle disrupting therapeutic drugs (e.g., cancer therapeutic drugs or radiation therapies) (combination therapies), so as to render a greater proportion of the cells (e.g., cancer cells) or supportive cells susceptible to executing the apoptosis program compared to the corresponding proportion of cells in an animal treated only with the therapeutic drug or radiation therapy alone.

In certain embodiments of the invention wherein the condition being treated is cancer characterized with aberrant EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα) (e.g., colorectal cancer), combination treatment of animals with a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention and a course of an anticancer agent produces a greater tumor response and clinical benefit in such animals compared to those treated with the compound or anticancer drugs/radiation alone. Since the doses for all approved anticancer drugs and radiation treatments are known, the present invention contemplates the various combinations of them with the present compounds.

As noted, the Applicants have found that certain quinazoline compounds and quinoline compounds function as inhibitors of both EGFR and PI3K, and serve as therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Thus, the present invention relates to quinazoline compounds and quinoline compounds useful for inhibiting EGFR and PI3K activity (e.g., thereby facilitating cell apoptosis), and increasing the sensitivity of cells to inducers of apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest. Certain quinazoline compounds and quinoline compounds of the present invention may exist as stereoisomers including optical isomers. The invention includes all stereoisomers, both as pure individual stereoisomer preparations and enriched preparations of each, and both the racemic mixtures of such stereoisomers as well as the individual diastereomers and enantiomers that may be separated according to methods that are well known to those of skill in the art.

DEFINITIONS

The term “anticancer agent” as used herein, refer to any therapeutic agents (e.g., chemotherapeutic compounds and/or molecular therapeutic compounds), antisense therapies, radiation therapies, or surgical interventions, used in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer (e.g., in mammals, e.g., in humans).

The term “prodrug” as used herein, refers to a pharmacologically inactive derivative of a parent “drug” molecule that requires biotransformation (e.g., either spontaneous or enzymatic) within the target physiological system to release, or to convert (e.g., enzymatically, physiologically, mechanically, electromagnetically) the prodrug into the active drug. Prodrugs are designed to overcome problems associated with stability, water solubility, toxicity, lack of specificity, or limited bioavailability. Exemplary prodrugs comprise an active drug molecule itself and a chemical masking group (e.g., a group that reversibly suppresses the activity of the drug). Some prodrugs are variations or derivatives of compounds that have groups cleavable under metabolic conditions. Prodrugs can be readily prepared from the parent compounds using methods known in the art, such as those described in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krogsgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard (eds.), Gordon & Breach, 1991, particularly Chapter 5: “Design and Applications of Prodrugs”; Design of Prodrugs, H. Bundgaard (ed.), Elsevier, 1985; Prodrugs: Topical and Ocular Drug Delivery, K. B. Sloan (ed.), Marcel Dekker, 1998; Methods in Enzymology, K. Widder et al. (eds.), Vol. 42, Academic Press, 1985, particularly pp. 309-396; Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, 5th Ed., M. Wolff (ed.), John Wiley & Sons, 1995, particularly Vol. 1 and pp. 172-178 and pp. 949-982; Pro-Drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, T. Higuchi and V. Stella (eds.), Am. Chem. Soc., 1975; and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, E. B. Roche (ed.), Elsevier, 1987.

Exemplary prodrugs become pharmaceutically active in vivo or in vitro when they undergo solvolysis under physiological conditions or undergo enzymatic degradation or other biochemical transformation (e.g., phosphorylation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, glycosylation). Prodrugs often offer advantages of water solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism. (See e.g., Bundgard, Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam (1985); and Silverman, The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, pp. 352-401, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif. (1992)). Common prodrugs include acid derivatives such as esters prepared by reaction of parent acids with a suitable alcohol (e.g., a lower alkanol) or esters prepared by reaction of parent alcohol with a suitable carboxylic acid, (e.g., an amino acid), amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with an amine, basic groups reacted to form an acylated base derivative (e.g., a lower alkylamide), or phosphorus-containing derivatives, e.g., phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphoramidate esters, including cyclic phosphate, phosphonate, and phosphoramidate (see, e.g., US Patent Application Publication No. US 2007/0249564 A1; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” as used herein, refers to any salt (e.g., obtained by reaction with an acid or a base) of a compound of the present invention that is physiologically tolerated in the target animal (e.g., a mammal). Salts of the compounds of the present invention may be derived from inorganic or organic acids and bases. Examples of acids include, but are not limited to, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric, perchloric, fumaric, maleic, phosphoric, glycolic, lactic, salicylic, succinic, toluene-p-sulfonic, tartaric, acetic, citric, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, formic, benzoic, malonic, sulfonic, naphthalene-2-sulfonic, benzenesulfonic acid, and the like. Other acids, such as oxalic, while not in themselves pharmaceutically acceptable, may be employed in the preparation of salts useful as intermediates in obtaining the compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.

Examples of bases include, but are not limited to, alkali metal (e.g., sodium) hydroxides, alkaline earth metal (e.g., magnesium) hydroxides, ammonia, and compounds of formula NW₄ ⁺, wherein W is C₁₋₄ alkyl, and the like.

Examples of salts include, but are not limited to: acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, flucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, chloride, bromide, iodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, mesylate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, undecanoate, and the like. Other examples of salts include anions of the compounds of the present invention compounded with a suitable cation such as Na⁺, NH₄ ⁺, and NW₄ ⁺ (wherein W is a C₁₋₄ alkyl group), and the like. For therapeutic use, salts of the compounds of the present invention are contemplated as being pharmaceutically acceptable. However, salts of acids and bases that are non-pharmaceutically acceptable may also find use, for example, in the preparation or purification of a pharmaceutically acceptable compound.

The term “solvate” as used herein, refers to the physical association of a compound of the invention with one or more solvent molecules, whether organic or inorganic. This physical association often includes hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate is capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvate molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolable solvates. Exemplary solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.

The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to that amount of the therapeutic agent sufficient to result in amelioration of one or more symptoms of a disorder, or prevent advancement of a disorder, or cause regression of the disorder. For example, with respect to the treatment of cancer, in one embodiment, a therapeutically effective amount will refer to the amount of a therapeutic agent that decreases the rate of tumor growth, decreases tumor mass, decreases the number of metastases, increases time to tumor progression, or increases survival time by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 100%.

The terms “sensitize” and “sensitizing,” as used herein, refer to making, through the administration of a first agent (e.g., a quinazoline compound of the invention), an animal or a cell within an animal more susceptible, or more responsive, to the biological effects (e.g., promotion or retardation of an aspect of cellular function including, but not limited to, cell division, cell growth, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, necrosis, or apoptosis) of a second agent. The sensitizing effect of a first agent on a target cell can be measured as the difference in the intended biological effect (e.g., promotion or retardation of an aspect of cellular function including, but not limited to, cell growth, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, or apoptosis) observed upon the administration of a second agent with and without administration of the first agent. The response of the sensitized cell can be increased by at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 100%, at least about 150%, at least about 200%, at least about 250%, at least 300%, at least about 350%, at least about 400%, at least about 450%, or at least about 500% over the response in the absence of the first agent.

The term “dysregulation of apoptosis,” as used herein, refers to any aberration in the ability of (e.g., predisposition) a cell to undergo cell death via apoptosis. Dysregulation of apoptosis is associated with or induced by a variety of conditions, non-limiting examples of which include, autoimmune disorders (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, graft-versus-host disease, myasthenia gravis, or Sjögren's syndrome), chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g., psoriasis, asthma or Crohn's disease), hyperproliferative disorders (e.g., tumors, B cell lymphomas, or T cell lymphomas), viral infections (e.g., herpes, papilloma, or HIV), and other conditions such as osteoarthritis and atherosclerosis.

The term “hyperproliferative disease,” as used herein, refers to any condition in which a localized population of proliferating cells in an animal is not governed by the usual limitations of normal growth. Examples of hyperproliferative disorders include tumors, neoplasms, lymphomas and the like. A neoplasm is said to be benign if it does not undergo invasion or metastasis and malignant if it does either of these. A “metastatic” cell means that the cell can invade and destroy neighboring body structures. Hyperplasia is a form of cell proliferation involving an increase in cell number in a tissue or organ without significant alteration in structure or function. Metaplasia is a form of controlled cell growth in which one type of fully differentiated cell substitutes for another type of differentiated cell.

The pathological growth of activated lymphoid cells often results in an autoimmune disorder or a chronic inflammatory condition. As used herein, the term “autoimmune disorder” refers to any condition in which an organism produces antibodies or immune cells which recognize the organism's own molecules, cells or tissues. Non-limiting examples of autoimmune disorders include autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune hepatitis, Berger's disease or IgA nephropathy, celiac sprue, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease, dermatomyositis, fibromyalgia, graft versus host disease, Grave's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, lichen planus, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, psoriasis, rheumatic fever, rheumatic arthritis, scleroderma, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes, ulcerative colitis, vitiligo, and the like.

The term “neoplastic disease,” as used herein, refers to any abnormal growth of cells being either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

The term “normal cell,” as used herein, refers to a cell that is not undergoing abnormal growth or division. Normal cells are non-cancerous and are not part of any hyperproliferative disease or disorder.

The term “anti-neoplastic agent,” as used herein, refers to any compound that retards the proliferation, growth, or spread of a targeted (e.g., malignant) neoplasm.

The terms “prevent,” “preventing,” and “prevention,” as used herein, refer to a decrease in the occurrence of pathological cells (e.g., hyperproliferative or neoplastic cells) in an animal. The prevention may be complete, e.g., the total absence of pathological cells in a subject. The prevention may also be partial, such that the occurrence of pathological cells in a subject is less than that which would have occurred without the present invention.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle” encompasses any of the standard pharmaceutical carriers, solvents, surfactants, or vehicles. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles include aqueous vehicles and nonaqueous vehicles. Standard pharmaceutical carriers and their formulations are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 19th ed. 1995.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In spite of compelling evidence for PI3K/AKT pathway activation leading to resistance to EGFR targeting agents, only recently have researchers sought to combine EGFR targeting agents with PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway inhibitors both pre-clinically and clinically. For example, Buck et al demonstrated that the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin synergizes with the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib in several cell lines that were resistant to erlotinib treatment alone (e.g., Ratushny V, et al., Cell Signal. 2009; 21: 1255-1268). However, the full potential of this synergistic combination was not achieved because rapamycin induces phosphorylation of AKT resulting in pathway reactivation (e.g., Ratushny V, et al., Cell Signal. 2009; 21: 1255-1268). Others have explored dual inhibition of EGFR and PI3K/AKT pathways in several cell lines and cancer histotypes, providing further support for this combination treatment strategy (see, e.g., Eichhorn P J, et al., Cancer Res. 2008; 68: 9221-9230). The compounds of the present invention overcame such limitations and represent dual potency inhibitors of both EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα). Specifically, utilizing x-ray crystal structure and structure-activity relationships gleaned from known PI3K and EGFR inhibiting agents, such experiments resulted in the identification of “active cores” for PI3K inhibiting agents facilitating high inhibitory activity against PI3K, and the identification of “active cores” for EGFR inhibiting agents facilitating high inhibitory activity against EGFR, respectively (see, Example I). The quinazoline and quinoline compounds of the present invention were accordingly synthesized to target the “active cores” for PI3K and the “active cores” for EGFR, thereby rendering such compounds as having “dual potency” against EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα).

Accordingly, the present invention relates to compounds which function as inhibitors of EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα). By inhibiting the activity of EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα), these compounds sensitize cells to inducers of apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest and, in some instances, themselves induce apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest. Therefore, the invention relates to methods of sensitizing cells to inducers of apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest and to methods of inducing apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest in cells, comprising contacting the cells with a compound of the invention alone or in combination with additional agent(s), e.g., an inducer of apoptosis or a cell cycle disrupter.

The invention further relates to methods of treating, ameliorating, or preventing conditions in a patient characterized with cells having aberrant EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα), such as those conditions that are responsive to induction of apoptosis, comprising administering to the patient a compound of the invention and additional agent(s), e.g., an inducer of apoptosis. Such disorders include those characterized by a dysregulation of apoptosis and those characterized by the proliferation of cells having aberrant EGFR protein activity (e.g., ERBB1) and PI3K protein activity (e.g., PI3Kα) (e.g., colorectal cancer). Indeed, through targeting both EGFR and PI3K, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating subjects with EGFR positive colorectal cancer that harbor an activating mutation in PI3Kα or are PTEN null.

An important aspect of the present invention is that compounds of the invention induce cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis and also potentiate the induction of cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis either alone or in response to additional apoptosis induction signals. Therefore, it is contemplated that these compounds sensitize cells to induction of cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis, including cells that are resistant to such inducing stimuli. The EGFR and PI3K inhibitors of the present invention (e.g., quinazoline compounds) (e.g., quinoline compounds) can be used to induce apoptosis in any disorder that can be treated, ameliorated, or prevented by the induction of apoptosis.

For a more detailed description of anticancer agents and other therapeutic agents, those skilled in the art are referred to any number of instructive manuals including, but not limited to, the Physician's Desk Reference and to Goodman and Gilman's “Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics” tenth edition, Eds. Hardman et al., 2002.

The present invention provides methods for administering a compound of the invention with radiation therapy. The invention is not limited by the types, amounts, or delivery and administration systems used to deliver the therapeutic dose of radiation to an animal. For example, the animal may receive photon radiotherapy, particle beam radiation therapy, other types of radiotherapies, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the radiation is delivered to the animal using a linear accelerator. In still other embodiments, the radiation is delivered using a gamma knife.

The source of radiation can be external or internal to the animal. External radiation therapy is most common and involves directing a beam of high-energy radiation to a tumor site through the skin using, for instance, a linear accelerator. While the beam of radiation is localized to the tumor site, it is nearly impossible to avoid exposure of normal, healthy tissue. However, external radiation is usually well tolerated by animals. Internal radiation therapy involves implanting a radiation-emitting source, such as beads, wires, pellets, capsules, particles, and the like, inside the body at or near the tumor site including the use of delivery systems that specifically target cancer cells (e.g., using particles attached to cancer cell binding ligands). Such implants can be removed following treatment, or left in the body inactive. Types of internal radiation therapy include, but are not limited to, brachytherapy, interstitial irradiation, intracavity irradiation, radioimmunotherapy, and the like.

The animal may optionally receive radiosensitizers (e.g., metronidazole, misonidazole, intra-arterial Budr, intravenous iododeoxyuridine (IudR), nitroimidazole, 5-substituted-4-nitroimidazoles, 2H-isoindolediones, [[(2-bromoethyl)-amino]methyl]-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol, nitroaniline derivatives, DNA-affinic hypoxia selective cytotoxins, halogenated DNA ligand, 1,2,4 benzotriazine oxides, 2-nitroimidazole derivatives, fluorine-containing nitroazole derivatives, benzamide, nicotinamide, acridine-intercalator, 5-thiotretrazole derivative, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole, 4,5-dinitroimidazole derivative, hydroxylated texaphrins, cisplatin, mitomycin, tiripazamine, nitrosourea, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, fluorouracil, bleomycin, vincristine, carboplatin, epirubicin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, etoposide, paclitaxel, heat (hyperthermia), and the like), radioprotectors (e.g., cysteamine, aminoalkyl dihydrogen phosphorothioates, amifostine (WR 2721), IL-1, IL-6, and the like). Radiosensitizers enhance the killing of tumor cells. Radioprotectors protect healthy tissue from the harmful effects of radiation.

Any type of radiation can be administered to an animal, so long as the dose of radiation is tolerated by the animal without unacceptable negative side-effects. Suitable types of radiotherapy include, for example, ionizing (electromagnetic) radiotherapy (e.g., X-rays or gamma rays) or particle beam radiation therapy (e.g., high linear energy radiation). Ionizing radiation is defined as radiation comprising particles or photons that have sufficient energy to produce ionization, i.e., gain or loss of electrons (as described in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,581 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The effects of radiation can be at least partially controlled by the clinician. In one embodiment, the dose of radiation is fractionated for maximal target cell exposure and reduced toxicity.

In one embodiment, the total dose of radiation administered to an animal is about 0.01 Gray (Gy) to about 100 Gy. In another embodiment, about 10 Gy to about 65 Gy (e.g., about 15 Gy, 20 Gy, 25 Gy, 30 Gy, 35 Gy, 40 Gy, 45 Gy, 50 Gy, 55 Gy, or 60 Gy) are administered over the course of treatment. While in some embodiments a complete dose of radiation can be administered over the course of one day, the total dose is ideally fractionated and administered over several days. Desirably, radiotherapy is administered over the course of at least about 3 days, e.g., at least 5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 25, 28, 32, 35, 38, 42, 46, 52, or 56 days (about 1-8 weeks). Accordingly, a daily dose of radiation will comprise approximately 1-5 Gy (e.g., about 1 Gy, 1.5 Gy, 1.8 Gy, 2 Gy, 2.5 Gy, 2.8 Gy, 3 Gy, 3.2 Gy, 3.5 Gy, 3.8 Gy, 4 Gy, 4.2 Gy, or 4.5 Gy), or 1-2 Gy (e.g., 1.5-2 Gy). The daily dose of radiation should be sufficient to induce destruction of the targeted cells. If stretched over a period, in one embodiment, radiation is not administered every day, thereby allowing the animal to rest and the effects of the therapy to be realized. For example, radiation desirably is administered on 5 consecutive days, and not administered on 2 days, for each week of treatment, thereby allowing 2 days of rest per week. However, radiation can be administered 1 day/week, 2 days/week, 3 days/week, 4 days/week, 5 days/week, 6 days/week, or all 7 days/week, depending on the animal's responsiveness and any potential side effects. Radiation therapy can be initiated at any time in the therapeutic period. In one embodiment, radiation is initiated in week 1 or week 2, and is administered for the remaining duration of the therapeutic period. For example, radiation is administered in weeks 1-6 or in weeks 2-6 of a therapeutic period comprising 6 weeks for treating, for instance, a solid tumor. Alternatively, radiation is administered in weeks 1-5 or weeks 2-5 of a therapeutic period comprising 5 weeks. These exemplary radiotherapy administration schedules are not intended, however, to limit the present invention.

Antimicrobial therapeutic agents may also be used as therapeutic agents in the present invention. Any agent that can kill, inhibit, or otherwise attenuate the function of microbial organisms may be used, as well as any agent contemplated to have such activities. Antimicrobial agents include, but are not limited to, natural and synthetic antibiotics, antibodies, inhibitory proteins (e.g., defensins), antisense nucleic acids, membrane disruptive agents and the like, used alone or in combination. Indeed, any type of antibiotic may be used including, but not limited to, antibacterial agents, antiviral agents, antifungal agents, and the like.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a compound of the invention and one or more therapeutic agents or anticancer agents are administered to an animal under one or more of the following conditions: at different periodicities, at different durations, at different concentrations, by different administration routes, etc. In some embodiments, the compound is administered prior to the therapeutic or anticancer agent, e.g., 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, or 18 hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days, or 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks prior to the administration of the therapeutic or anticancer agent. In some embodiments, the compound is administered after the therapeutic or anticancer agent, e.g., 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, or 18 hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days, or 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks after the administration of the anticancer agent. In some embodiments, the compound and the therapeutic or anticancer agent are administered concurrently but on different schedules, e.g., the compound is administered daily while the therapeutic or anticancer agent is administered once a week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, or once every four weeks. In other embodiments, the compound is administered once a week while the therapeutic or anticancer agent is administered daily, once a week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, or once every four weeks.

Compositions within the scope of this invention include all compositions wherein the compounds of the present invention are contained in an amount which is effective to achieve its intended purpose. While individual needs vary, determination of optimal ranges of effective amounts of each component is within the skill of the art. Typically, the compounds may be administered to mammals, e.g. humans, orally at a dose of 0.0025 to 50 mg/kg, or an equivalent amount of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, per day of the body weight of the mammal being treated for disorders responsive to induction of apoptosis. In one embodiment, about 0.01 to about 25 mg/kg is orally administered to treat, ameliorate, or prevent such disorders. For intramuscular injection, the dose is generally about one-half of the oral dose. For example, a suitable intramuscular dose would be about 0.0025 to about 25 mg/kg, or from about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg.

The unit oral dose may comprise from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg, for example, about 0.1 to about 100 mg of the compound. The unit dose may be administered one or more times daily as one or more tablets or capsules each containing from about 0.1 to about 10 mg, conveniently about 0.25 to 50 mg of the compound or its solvates.

In a topical formulation, the compound may be present at a concentration of about 0.01 to 100 mg per gram of carrier. In a one embodiment, the compound is present at a concentration of about 0.07-1.0 mg/ml, for example, about 0.1-0.5 mg/ml, and in one embodiment, about 0.4 mg/ml.

In addition to administering the compound as a raw chemical, the compounds of the invention may be administered as part of a pharmaceutical preparation containing suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. The preparations, particularly those preparations which can be administered orally or topically and which can be used for one type of administration, such as tablets, dragees, slow release lozenges and capsules, mouth rinses and mouth washes, gels, liquid suspensions, hair rinses, hair gels, shampoos and also preparations which can be administered rectally, such as suppositories, as well as suitable solutions for administration by intravenous infusion, injection, topically or orally, contain from about 0.01 to 99 percent, in one embodiment from about 0.25 to 75 percent of active compound(s), together with the excipient.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be administered to any patient which may experience the beneficial effects of the compounds of the invention. Foremost among such patients are mammals, e.g., humans, although the invention is not intended to be so limited. Other patients include veterinary animals (cows, sheep, pigs, horses, dogs, cats and the like).

The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof may be administered by any means that achieve their intended purpose. For example, administration may be by parenteral, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, transdermal, buccal, intrathecal, intracranial, intranasal or topical routes. Alternatively, or concurrently, administration may be by the oral route. The dosage administered will be dependent upon the age, health, and weight of the recipient, kind of concurrent treatment, if any, frequency of treatment, and the nature of the effect desired.

The pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention are manufactured in a manner which is itself known, for example, by means of conventional mixing, granulating, dragee-making, dissolving, or lyophilizing processes. Thus, pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by combining the active compounds with solid excipients, optionally grinding the resulting mixture and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired or necessary, to obtain tablets or dragee cores.

Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as saccharides, for example lactose or sucrose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations and/or calcium phosphates, for example tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, as well as binders such as starch paste, using, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone. If desired, disintegrating agents may be added such as the above-mentioned starches and also carboxymethyl-starch, cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate. Auxiliaries are, above all, flow-regulating agents and lubricants, for example, silica, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings which, if desired, are resistant to gastric juices. For this purpose, concentrated saccharide solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. In order to produce coatings resistant to gastric juices, solutions of suitable cellulose preparations such as acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose phthalate, are used. Dye stuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings, for example, for identification or in order to characterize combinations of active compound doses.

Other pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active compounds in the form of granules which may be mixed with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds are in one embodiment dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, or liquid paraffin. In addition, stabilizers may be added.

Possible pharmaceutical preparations which can be used rectally include, for example, suppositories, which consist of a combination of one or more of the active compounds with a suppository base. Suitable suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides, or paraffin hydrocarbons. In addition, it is also possible to use gelatin rectal capsules which consist of a combination of the active compounds with a base. Possible base materials include, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycols, or paraffin hydrocarbons.

Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form, for example, water-soluble salts and alkaline solutions. In addition, suspensions of the active compounds as appropriate oily injection suspensions may be administered. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils, for example, sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example, ethyl oleate or triglycerides or polyethylene glycol-400. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension include, for example, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, and/or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain stabilizers.

The topical compositions of this invention are formulated in one embodiment as oils, creams, lotions, ointments and the like by choice of appropriate carriers. Suitable carriers include vegetable or mineral oils, white petrolatum (white soft paraffin), branched chain fats or oils, animal fats and high molecular weight alcohol (greater than C₁₂). The carriers may be those in which the active ingredient is soluble. Emulsifiers, stabilizers, humectants and antioxidants may also be included as well as agents imparting color or fragrance, if desired. Additionally, transdermal penetration enhancers can be employed in these topical formulations. Examples of such enhancers can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,989,816 and 4,444,762; each herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Ointments may be formulated by mixing a solution of the active ingredient in a vegetable oil such as almond oil with warm soft paraffin and allowing the mixture to cool. A typical example of such an ointment is one which includes about 30% almond oil and about 70% white soft paraffin by weight. Lotions may be conveniently prepared by dissolving the active ingredient, in a suitable high molecular weight alcohol such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol.

One of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the foregoing represents merely a detailed description of certain preferred embodiments of the present invention. Various modifications and alterations of the compositions and methods described above can readily be achieved using expertise available in the art and are within the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLES

The following examples are illustrative, but not limiting, of the compounds, compositions, and methods of the present invention. Other suitable modifications and adaptations of the variety of conditions and parameters normally encountered in clinical therapy and which are obvious to those skilled in the art are within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Example 1

Utilizing x-ray crystal structure and structure-activity relationships gleaned from compound databases, a compiled database of all curated literature EGFR inhibiting agents (FIGS. 1A-C) and PI3K inhibiting agents (FIG. 2A-E) was generated.

Next, “active cores” for each target were separately generated and such cores compared with high activity against both kinases. Such cores were cross-checked for selectivity. Three ‘selective’ cores were identified. X-ray crystal structures of the active and selective cores were analyzed for binding modes.

FIG. 3 shows the X-ray Crystal quinolone binding mode in EGFR (ATP competitive site of protein kinases) for Lapatinib (PDB Code: 1XKK) and HKI-272 (PDB Code: 3W2Q). For Lapatinib, the quinoline nitrogen forms hydrogen bond with hinge backbone MET793. The 6 position of quinazoline ring system is out towards solvent which is flipped relative to the PI3K binding mode of quinoline. For HKI-272 (quinoline with 3-nitrile) a similar binding mode as the quinazoline core is maintained, but flipped when compared to PI3K binding mode. SAR between the two series is anticipated to be convergent.

FIG. 4A shows the X-ray crystal binding mode of GSK2126458 (PDB Code:3L08) with EGFR and PI3K, the X-ray crystal binding mode of PF-04979064 (PDB Code:4HVB) with PI3K, and the X-ray crystal binding mode of Lapatinib with EGFR. As shown, the X-ray Crystal Structure of GSK2126458 (3L08) binding to PI3K quinoline nitrogen forms hydrogen bond with hinge backbone valine. The pyridyl off the 6 position sits within the PI3K specificity pocket. The sulfonamide interacts with LYS833 and aromatic groups sits within the phosphate binding pocket.

FIG. 4B shows the binding mode of BEZ235 in PI3K. The model of BEZ235 binding in PI3K quinoline nitrogen forms hydrogen bond with hinge backbone valine. The second quinoline off the 6 position sits within the PI3K specificity pocket. The nitrile interacts with LYS833 and aromatic groups is bridge between ribose binding pocket and phosophate binging pocket.

FIG. 4C shows a comparison of lipid versus protein kinase binding mode of quinoline for Lapatinib and GSK2126458 (PDB Code:3L08). As shown, the binding mode of quinoline (quinazoline) core is flipped in PI3K versus EGFR.

Based upon such binding information, new compounds were synthesized for dual potency against PI3K and EGFR. Common cores

were selected and ligands were designed for potency against EGFR and PIK3CA. The respective core portions of the molecules display structural motifs of common core structures that have activity against PIK3CA or EGFR. These common cores served as the basis for designing new molecules with potential activity against both EGFR and PI3K. Such cores were utilized with known binding modes of molecules in their respective active sites of EGFR and PI3K resulting in the designing of novel ligands with activity against both (see, FIG. 4C).

Numerous hits were designed with nanaomolar potency against EGFR and PIK3CA. Unexpectedly, when the molecules were profiled against a broad panel of 39 kinases, encompassing a diverse array of tyrosine, serine/threonine and lipid kinases, only the ERBB (ERBB1, ERBB2 and ERBB4) and PI3K (PIK3alpha, P110 gamma, P110 delta, MTOR and DNA-PK) families were uniformly inhibited by >50% at 10 μM. Representative data for MOL-162 demonstrated potent dual inhibition of purified EGFR and PIK3CA accompanied by cellular modulation of both pathways and cytotoxicity against KRAS mutant HCT-116 cells. A structure-activity relationship was shown for these agents against both of the biochemical targets. Furthermore, selectivity was demonstrated against other HER family members as well as MTOR. Based on such results against PI3K family members, it is anticipated that such compounds will be equally potent against other isoforms of PI3K beyond PIK3CA, therefore expanding therapeutic utility beyond colorectal cancer.

The clean kinase profile of MOL-153 led to evaluation of this compound for in vivo pharmacodynamic activity against subcutaneous HCT-116 tumors. While intraperitoneal administration of 100 mg/kg of this compound resulted in inhibition of pAKT, inhibition of pEGFR was not detected, presumably due to insufficient potency against EGFR (349 nM). Closely related analogs were next synthesized that would possess improved dual potency against both primary targets and also exhibit oral activity. MOL-162, which is significantly more soluble than MOL-153, emerged from these efforts. As shown in FIG. 5A, phosphorylation of EGFR was found to be completely suppressed in HCT-116 tumors (100 mg/kg) at two hours post-dosing of a single oral dose of MOL-162. Phosphorylation of AKT was not as strongly inhibited. However, additional synthesis of MOL-162 is needed to allow a full pharmacodynamic time course study to be carried out to determine the maximal degree of target inhibition of both targets after single and repeated daily dosing.

FIG. 5B shows a measurement of cell proliferation for MOL-160, MOL-161, MOL-162, and MOL-163. Cell proliferation was determined using the Cell Titer Glo assay (Promega, Madison, Wis.). Cell lines were seeded at a density between 2,000 and 5,000 cells per well in a 96-well plate. Twenty four hours after plating, cells were dosed with varying concentrations of drug, either as a single agent or in combination. The signal for Cell Titer Glo was determined 72 or 96 hours after dosing.

FIG. 5C shows HCT-116 cell viability for various compounds.

FIG. 5D shows the effect of MOL-162 on pAKT and pEGFR in HCT-116 cells treated for two hours.

FIG. 6 shows IC50s of various compounds against EGFR and PIK3CA. Various compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit EGFR and PIK3CA. The assays determining inhibitions are given in Example 2 Assays—Z′-LYTE® and ADAPTA.

FIG. 7 shows % Growth of select compounds against NCI-60 Compare panel for compounds at 10 μM. Dual EGFR and PIK3CA inhibitors suppressed tumor growth of NCI-60 cell panel in vitro. MOL-201 demonstrated broad cell kill (negative growth at 10 uM) within the panel. The method is outlined in Example 2—NCI COMPARE Panel.

FIGS. 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, and 8E show in vivo efficacy of MOL-201 against, HCT-116, A431, COL-205, SK-MEL5 and MDA-MB-468 xenografts. MOL-201 was well tolerated by mice with no clinical observations of toxicity treated daily for 10 days at 20 and 100 mg/kg. Anti-tumor activity observed at higher dose in HCT-116, A431, SK-MEL5 and COL-205 xenografts as indicated by T/C and T-C values. MOL-201 elicited anti-tumor activity at lower dose of 20 mg/kg. The method is outlined in Example 2—Xenograft Studies.

Example 2

The materials and methods for Example 1 are described.

Assays: The Z′-LYTE® biochemical assay employs a fluorescence-based, coupled-enzyme format and is based on the differential sensitivity of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides to proteolytic cleavage (FIG. 6). The peptide substrate is labeled with two fluorophores—one at each end—that make up a FRET pair. In the primary reaction, the kinase transfers the gamma-phosphate of ATP to a single tyrosine, serine or threonine residue in a synthetic FRET-peptide. In the secondary reaction, a site-specific protease recognizes and cleaves non-phosphorylated FRET-peptides. Phosphorylation of FRET-peptides suppresses cleavage by the Development Reagent. Cleavage disrupts FRET between the donor (i.e., coumarin) and acceptor (i.e., fluorescein) fluorophores on the FRET-peptide, whereas uncleaved, phosphorylated FRET-peptides maintain FRET. A ratiometric method, which calculates the ratio (the Emission Ratio) of donor emission to acceptor emission after excitation of the donor fluorophore at 400 nm, is used to quantitate reaction progress.

A significant benefit of this ratiometric method for quantitating reaction progress is the elimination of well-to-well variations in FRET-peptide concentration and signal intensities. As a result, the assay yields very high Z′-factor values (>0.7) at a low percent phosphorylation.

Both cleaved and uncleaved FRET-peptides contribute to the fluorescence signals and therefore to the Emission Ratio. The extent of phosphorylation of the FRET-peptide can be calculated from the Emission Ratio. The Emission Ratio will remain low if the FRET-peptide is phosphorylated (i.e., no kinase inhibition) and will be high if the FRET-peptide is non-phosphorylated (i.e., kinase inhibition).

Enzyme: The ADAPTA universal kinase assay is a homogenous, fluorescent based immunoassay for the detection of ADP. In contrast to ATP depletion assays, the ADAPTA assay is extremely sensitive to ADP formation such that a majority of the signal change occurs in the first 10-20% conversion of ATP to ADP. This makes the ADAPTA universal kinase assay ideally suited for use with low activity kinases.

The principle of the ADAPTA universal kinase assay is outlined below. The assay itself can be divided into two phases: a kinase reaction phase, and an ADP detection phase. In the kinase reaction phase, all components required for the kinase reaction are added to the well, and the reaction is allowed to incubate for 60 minutes. After the reaction, a detection solution consisting of a europium labeled anti-ADP antibody, an Alexa Fluor® 647 labeled ADP tracer, and EDTA (to stop the kinase reaction) is added to the assay well. ADP formed by the kinase reaction (in the absence of an inhibitor) will displace the Alexa Fluor® 647 labeled ADP tracer from the antibody, resulting in a decrease in the TR-FRET signal. In the presence of an inhibitor, the amount of ADP formed by the kinase reaction is reduced, and the resulting intact antibody-tracer interaction results in a high TR-FRET signal.

Z′-LYTE® Assay Conditions:

Test Compounds

The Test Compounds are screened in 1% DMSO (final) in the well. For 10 point titrations, 3-fold serial dilutions are conducted from the starting concentration of the customer's choosing.

Peptide/Kinase Mixtures

All Peptide/Kinase Mixtures are diluted to a 2× working concentration in the appropriate Kinase Buffer.

ATP Solution

All ATP Solutions are diluted to a 4× working concentration in Kinase Buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA). ATP Km apparent is previously determined using a Z′-LYTE® assay.

Development Reagent Solution

The Development Reagent is diluted in Development Buffer.

10× Novel PKC Lipid Mix:

2 mg/ml Phosphatidyl Serine, 0.2 mg/ml DAG in 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.3% CHAPS. For 5 mL 10× Novel PKC Lipid Mix: 1. Add 10 mgs Phosphatidyl Serine (Avanti Polar Lipids Part#8400032C or 840039C) and 1 mg DAG (Avanti Polar Lipids Part#800811C) to a glass tube. 2. Remove the chloroform from lipid mixture by evaporating to a clear, thin film under a stream of nitrogen. Continuous rotation of the tube, at an angle to ensure maximum surface area of the lipid solution, will promote the thinnest film. 3. Add 5 mLs resuspension buffer, 20 mM HEPES, 0.3% CHAPS, pH 7.4, to the dried lipid mix 4. Heat gently to 50-60° C. for 1-2 minutes and vortex in short intervals until the lipids are dissolved to a clear or slightly hazy solution. The lipids are typically in solution after 2-3 heat/vortex cycles. 5. Cool to room temperature, aliquot into single use volumes and store at −20° C.

Assay Protocol:

Bar-coded Corning, low volume NBS, black 384-well plate (Corning Cat. #4514) 1. 2.5 μL—4× Test Compound or 100 nL 100× plus 2.4 μL kinase buffer. 2. 5 μL—2× Peptide/Kinase Mixture. 3. 2.5 μL—4×ATP Solution. 4. 30-second plate shake. 5. 60-minute Kinase Reaction incubation at room temperature. 6. 5 μL—Development Reagent Solution. 7. 30-second plate shake. 8. 60-minute Development Reaction incubation at room temperature. 9. Read on fluorescence plate reader and analyze the data.

ADP formation is determined by calculating the emission ratio from the assay well. The emission ratio is calculated by dividing the intensity of the tracer (acceptor) emission by the intensity of the Eu (donor) emission at 615 nm as shown in the equation below.

Since the ADAPTA technology measures ADP formation (i.e. conversion of ATP to ADP) it can be used to measure any type of ATP hydrolysis, including intrinsic ATPase activity of kinases. In this case, the substrate is water, not a lipid or peptide. The SelectScreen® service screens CHUK in this way, so a substrate is not included in the kinase reaction. A reference for using intrinsic ATPase activity to screen for kinase inhibitors is provided below.

Preparation of Protein Lysates and Western Blotting

[50 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mmol/L NaCl, 1% NP40, 0.5% Na-deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, containing protease (P8340, Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.) and phosphatase (P5726, Sigma) inhibitor cocktails]. The soluble protein concentration was determined by micro-bovine serum albumin assay (Pierce, Rockford, Ill.). Protein immunodetection was done by electrophoretic transfer of SDS-PAGE separated proteins to nitrocellulose, incubation with antibody, and chemiluminescent second step detection (PicoWest, Pierce). The antibodies included EGFR, phospho-EGFR (Y1068), phospho-p42/p44, phospho-Akt (473), phospho-Akt (308), total Akt, phosho-S6 (235/236), and total S6. All antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technologies (Danvers, Mass.).

Treatment Studies

For analysis of the effects of molecules disclosed herein on the phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins, cell lines were grown to 70% confluence, at which time MOL-162 and/or similar compounds were added at the indicated concentration, and cells were incubated at 37 C for 1 or 2 hours. Where indicated, 10 ng/mL EGF ligand was added for 5 minutes. The medium was removed, cells were washed twice with PBS, and cells were lysed as previously described.

Western Blotting

Cell extracts were prepared by detergent lysis [25 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 150 mmol/L NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, 10% glycerol, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mmol/L dithiothreitol (DTT), and protease and phosphatase inhibitors, rocked for 30 minutes at 4° C., and centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 20 min at 4° C. Protein concentration was determined by BioRad Protein Assays and lysates were subsequently subjected to SDS gel electrophoresis. Proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and probed with primary antibodies recognizing EGFR, phospho-EGFR (Y1068), phospho-p42/p44, phospho-Akt (473), phospho-Akt (308), total Akt and GAPDH (Abcam). After incubation with either anti-rabbit HRP or anti-mouse HRP linked secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.), proteins were detected using chemiluminescence (GE Healthcare).

NCI COMPARE Panel.

The human tumor cell lines of the cancer screening panel are grown in RPMI 1640 medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum and 2 mM L-glutamine. For a typical screening experiment, cells are inoculated into 96 well microtiter plates in 100 μL at plating densities ranging from 5,000 to 40,000 cells/well depending on the doubling time of individual cell lines. After cell inoculation, the microtiter plates are incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2, 95% air and 100% relative humidity for 24 h prior to addition of experimental drugs.

After 24 h, two plates of each cell line are fixed in situ with TCA, to represent a measurement of the cell population for each cell line at the time of drug addition (Tz). Experimental drugs are solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide at 400-fold the desired final maximum test concentration and stored frozen prior to use. At the time of drug addition, an aliquot of frozen concentrate is thawed and diluted to twice the desired final maximum test concentration with complete medium containing 50 μg/ml gentamicin. Additional four, 10-fold or ½ log serial dilutions are made to provide a total of five drug concentrations plus control. Aliquots of 100 μl of these different drug dilutions are added to the appropriate microtiter wells already containing 100 μl of medium, resulting in the required final drug concentrations. Following drug addition, the plates are incubated for an additional 48 h at 37° C., 5% CO2, 95% air, and 100% relative humidity. For adherent cells, the assay is terminated by the addition of cold TCA. Cells are fixed in situ by the gentle addition of 50 μl of cold 50% (w/v) TCA (final concentration, 10% TCA) and incubated for 60 minutes at 4° C. The supernatant is discarded, and the plates are washed five times with tap water and air dried. Sulforhodamine B (SRB) solution (100 μl) at 0.4% (w/v) in 1% acetic acid is added to each well, and plates are incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. After staining, unbound dye is removed by washing five times with 1% acetic acid and the plates are air dried. Bound stain is subsequently solubilized with 10 mM trizma base, and the absorbance is read on an automated plate reader at a wavelength of 515 nm. For suspension cells, the methodology is the same except that the assay is terminated by fixing settled cells at the bottom of the wells by gently adding 50 μl of 80% TCA (final concentration, 16% TCA). Using the seven absorbance measurements [time zero, (Tz), control growth, (C), and test growth in the presence of drug at the five concentration levels (Ti)], the percentage growth is calculated at each of the drug concentrations levels. Percentage growth inhibition is calculated as: [(Ti−Tz)/(C−Tz)]×100 for concentrations for which Ti>/=Tz [(Ti−Tz)/Tz]×100 for concentrations for which Ti<Tz. The number reported for the One-dose assay is growth relative to the no-drug control, and relative to the time zero number of cells. This allows detection of both growth inhibition (values between 0 and 100) and lethality (values less than 0). For example, a value of 100 means no growth inhibition. A value of 40 would mean 60% growth inhibition. A value of 0 means no net growth over the course of the experiment. A value of −40 would mean 40% lethality. A value of −100 means all cells are dead. Information from the One-dose mean graph is available for COMPARE analysis. The heat map details green (% growth<0, % growth>0% but less than 50%, % growth>50%. Xenograft Studies.

Female 6-7 week old NCR nude mice (CrTac:NCr-Foxnlnu from Taconic), 6-7 weeks old, were implanted subcutaneously with 1×10⁶ to 1×10⁷ cells in a 1:1 serum-free media/Matrigel® mixture into the region of the right axilla. Mice were randomized into treatment groups and treatments initiated when tumors reached 100 to 200 mg. MTX-201 was administered daily for 10 days by oral gavage as a clear yellow solution in 5% DMSO/95% PEG300, based upon individual animal body weight (0.2 ml/20 g). Subcutaneous tumor volume and body weights were measured two to three times a week. Tumor volumes were calculated by measuring two perpendicular diameters with calipers and using the formula: tumor volume=(length×width2)/2. Mice were held following cessation of treatment until tumor burdens reached ˜1000 mg, to allow for calculation of tumor growth delay. Percent treated/control (% T/C) was calculated by dividing the median treated tumor weight by the median control tumor weight and multiplying by 100 on the last day of treatment. Tumor growth delay (T-C) was calculated by subtracting the median time to reach evaluation size (750 mg) of the treated group by the median time to evaluation size of the control group. A partial regression (PR) is defined as a tumor that regressed to <=50% of the baseline tumor volume. A complete response (CR) is defined as a tumor below the limits of palpation (<40 mg).

Example 3

This example shows the University of Michigan Quinazoline Library 3-Experimentals (Synthesis of MOL-160-163, and MOL-165).

N-(5-(4-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)quinazolin-6-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methanesulfonamide, MOL-160

To a solution consisting of 6-bromo-4-chloroquinazoline (0.3 g, 1.30 mmol) in 2-propanol (30 mL) was added 3-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (0.189 g, 1.30 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated (80° C.) and stirred overnight under a flow of N₂. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then the reaction mixture was filtered over a fritted funnel. The filtered solid was rinsed with excess 2-propanol and dried under high vacuum to afford 6-bromo-N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)quinazolin-4-amine (3A) as an off-white solid (350 mg, 85% yield). MS: (ESI⁺ m/z 353.9, ESI⁻ m/z 351.9) A solution consisting of 6-bromo-N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)quinazolin-4-amine (0.185 g, 0.526 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (3 mL) was placed in a 5 mL microwave reaction vial containing a stir bar. Next, 5-(methylsulfonamido)pyridine-3-yl boronic acid pinacol ester (4, 0.164 g, 0.553 mmol) was added followed by SiliCat DPP-Pd (5 mol %, 0.26 mmol/g loading, 0.101 g) and 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution (2 equivalents, 0.76 mL, 1.05 mmol). The reaction mixture was placed under N₂ atmosphere, capped, and then heated at 125° C. for one hour in a Biotage Emrys Optimizer microwave.
